A one-of-a-kind cargo shipment moved across JAXPORT’s newly rebuilt heavy lift cargo berth at Blount Island Marine Terminal today.
Eight plates of curved steel that make up a massive sculpture, Passage of Time, by world-renowned American minimalist sculptor Richard Serra arrived by ship from Qatar and were unloaded by master riggers employed by JAXPORT partner, Portus.
Serra is best known for his large-scale steel sculptures which sell for millions of dollars. Portus boasts a global reputation as an industry leader for handling over-dimensional and unusual cargo.
The weather proof steel components of the sculpture are impressive in size, each weighing more 80,000 lbs, measuring up to 57 feet in length and standing more than 14 feet high. The sculpture’s final destination is in South Florida.
A recent multi-million dollar upgrade increased the capability of JAXPORT’s specialty ship’s berth dedicated to moving heavy and oversized cargo. The berth now ranks as one of the nation’s highest weight-bearing capacity docks.
“When moving something this irreplaceable, trust is a critical factor,” said John Mullins, Portus Director of Customer Service and Business Development. “The cargo owner saw Jacksonville was the clear choice for this assignment. Not every port team has our level of experience and reputation and not every port terminal has the capability to handle such unique cargo.”
